The non-aggression principle does allow for self-defense since it is the initiation of force that is disallowed. As usual you have failed to do even the most basic research.
So you prefer private aggression rather than public aggression (as you see it at least). Unrestrained private acts tend to run to their logical conclusion: the strong prevail. Sorry, but that's no basis for a system of government (apologies to Monty Python).
Intelligence is not knowledge and knowledge is not wisdom, but they all play well together.
